There was a time when it seemed like every new device had to have an always-on blue LED. Escaping blue light at night was an effort. These days small white LEDs are in fashion, which I find much more tolerable.



A big of black gaffers tape takes care of that for me. Electrical tape in a pinch. If I use white gaffers tape, it significantly cuts the light but is still visible when I'm looking right at it.


How many people outside of production work a) knows what gaff is, b) where to get it, c) uses it with a pair of scissors?


Search "tape with no residue" on Amazon, Gaffers will come out. That was how I knew it.


How to search for gaffers tape without typing "gaffers tape" :D
